Agent Directory API
The agent ecosystem, queryable. One key, one snapshot, every public listing we could count.
On October 1, 2026, we collected the public listings that make up the agent internet: MCP servers, agent skills, bot templates, agent projects, and hosted agent apps. This API serves that collection — the Agent Census — with search, filters, and per-listing records.
Live counts from /v1/stats. Sources: the official MCP
Registry (portion dated September 29, 2026), ClawHub, Grok bot directories,
Hugging Face, and two curated awesome-lists.
What it counts, honestly
The census counts listings, not active agents. A listing can be stale, moved, or gone. This is one snapshot, so the API makes no growth or trend claims. Nothing in the data was merged or deleted: 677 groups of listings share a URL across registry entries and stay distinct, because they are distinct listings. Fields that a source could not support are empty, never guessed.

The dataset behind it
The same snapshot is sold as a file (CSV + JSON, with a data dictionary and methodology note) by Orbital Desk LLC. The API is the live way in; the file is the take-home copy. Both describe the same 39,654 listings, collected the same way, with the same limits stated.
